| 0:00.0 | Hey Jim Daley here. If you like the focus on the family broadcast and haven't |
| 0:04.7 | grown tired of this voice just yet, you'll love my ReFocus podcast. On ReFocus I |
| 0:10.2 | take a deeper dive with a respected thinker on different aspects of culture. I |
| 0:14.4 | ask those hard questions that maybe they don't get that often and I don't |

| 1:16.0 | Daley to set it up. We have a clip from someone who struggles in this area with |
| 1:19.9 | selfishness. And I think again it's one of the key things we touched on |
| 1:22.7 | it last time. But let's touch on it again. Let's play this clip and have you |
| 1:25.8 | respond. My wife and I got married in our early 30s and we're finding it |
| 1:29.5 | difficult to transition from doing things my way in her way or my stuff and her |
